You only need a HTTP server like Apache. But you can also use Tomcat, since it handles also requests to static content.

First, download source code of the latest version.
Then, from the README.TXT file it contains, you'll have to:
- download and install last JDK 6,
- download and install Ant,
- run the following Java command in the directory where you uncompressed the archive of the source code:

Code: Select all

keytool -genkey -keystore keys.keytool -alias SweetHome3D

(keytool is a command of the JDK, if system doesn't recognize keytool, give the full path of keytool or change system PATH)
- run "ant" command in the directory where you uncompressed the archive of the source code. The default javaWebStart target will create signed jars in deploy/lib subdirectory.
- edit deploy/SweetHome3D.jnlp file and change the value of the codebase attribute at line 3 to the URL base where you want to host your version of Sweet Home 3D.
- upload the content of deploy directory on your server in a directory matching this URL base.

Your Java Web Start version of Sweet Home 3D is ready. [:D]

I have done it all, thanks Puybaret.
I want to ask about the certification expiry which is being expired in 6 months. when the build was in progress by running ANT command, it tells so.
Isn't there any option to make it long more than 6 months?
Thanks..

Also would you have any suggestion on the following thread

Thanks.

Don't worry the program will still run once the certificate expired.
For example, this certificate used to sign the version 0.10 of Sweet Home 3D expired but it still runs.

The best solution is to buy a Java Code Signing Certificate from a Certification Authority, but this is quite expensive (±$200/ year) and that's why I didn't buy one myself yet.
Here are a few Certification Authorities I found last time I did my enquiry on this subject:
- Verisign
- Thawte
- GlobalSign
- Entrust
- Certum

And other interesting pages about this subject:
- Java Tutorial Lesson: API and Tools Use for Secure Code and File Exchanges
- Java Code Signing Certificates comparison
- Cheapest Java Code Signing Certificate? - Stack Overflow
- The PKI page

Thanks a lot Puybaret
your enquiry really did save much of my time

Thanks
